Our view
“Living Dead in Dallas” is a compact second outing that takes Sookie Stackhouse out of Bon Temps and widens the series’ world. The search for a missing vampire brings in an anti-vampire movement and the first werewolves, alongside plenty of explicit sex and a darker undertone. Some readers who like the rest are troubled by a scene of sexual violence.

About the book
Living Dead in Dallas is the second book in Charlaine Harris's series The Southern Vampire Mysteries. This second novel follows the adventures of telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse of Bon Temps, Louisiana, as she is employed by Dallas vampires to use her telepathy to help find their lost companion. Sookie agrees to help investigate the whereabouts of the missing vampire on one condition: any humans found to be involved must be turned over to human law enforcement rather than subjected to vampire justice. In Dallas Sookie Stackhouse has her first encounter with the anti-vampire organization "The Fellowship of the Sun," as well as meeting and learning of the existence of werewolves.
